i dunno? I beg to differ on that.

The reason the supply is so low is because, those weapons are grandfathered in and there are only so many of them. The gov't i controlling the supply. I think there was a ban in like 86 for something, don't recall what. And I'm sure there is some sort of crazy limitation or stop to importation of machine guns from other countries. You'd figure anyone with any sort of entrepreneurial vision would definitely capitalize on this.
I don't know all of the details on this, maybe something liek the RBmotoring scandal is going on in this industry? who knows... but yeah they're RAPING.

Prime example, as i said above... why does a used fully auto pre ban ak47 go for 20k here, when a brand new straight from the crate full auto ak47 go for about 80-90 usd in Pakistan.

I'm sure there's more politics and stuff involved, but yeah the gov def has a large thing to do with why they're so expensive, making us law-abiding citizens pay the boot... When criminals and illegals(not saying that you do, but you CAN)are going to do whatever they want


With what you've said, a legal class III wep isn't as unattainable as I thought... I was talking to someone whom I thought knew a lot, but I guess not. He was saying how its a process that's not really worth it at the end of the day unless you REALLY need a machine gun. Like a minimum of a 6 month wait and your application gets conveniently "lost" if it isn't squeeky perfect or you don't have a lot of contacts/connections to ease the process.

with that said, i'm going to look for a nice little krinkov... and do some more research of course.
